Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?

Wheey! I've became a human being!! I am very handsam!

lol according to gamefaqs:

Both new weapons have more polygons than any character or weapon model. The Mangler's projectile alone has more polygons than the default Pyro.

Wow I don't know what happened, either my team sucked or I was just doing amazing today. Topped the scoreboard for a few rounds as a Pyro. Usually I'm at the Halfway point of the scoreboard, so that was a pretty big jump. Pretty sure my team just sucked though lawl.

Also tried out The Cow Mangler 5000, pretty awesome to bad I don't use the soldier that much.

By the way, tip if you're playing Engie and the enemy team has a lot of Cow Manglers--go Gunslinger. The Mangler only does 16 damage to buildings, and while disabling the thing for several seconds with the charge shot is great, it's not as effective as just destroying it, which you could easily do in 2 shots with any other rocket launcher.

Well that seems almost completely broken. And plus doing just a little optimization can really do wonders... >_< my computer is already laggy enough

:/

In other news I have another update; download this and Hinoa will notify when its been uploaded to the server.

THAT MEANS CLICK HERE YOU TWITS!

TO HINOA AND OTHERS WHO HAVE PREVIOUSLY DOWNLOADED THIS MAP: You do not need to transfer any textures if you have done so already.

Please note that this map contains HL2 models; they are supposedly in TF2's code but I'm not 100% certain. If they don't work all that would happen is that they won't appear, and at most an error will pop up on the left-top corner of the screen.

Stuff:
- Fixed a lot of sloppy errors; the map should have far less areas you can get stuck at (I don't know of any)
- Named Capture Points
- Pigeons everywhere. Kraden likes his pigeons. Also, do yourself a favour and don't jump on them. They will seek very quick and painful revenge.
- More Displacements so it looks better in general
- Can fall into pit and actually die instead of just hitting the bottom of the skybox and... hanging out...
- Lights added to both spawn areas
- Glowing areas added to elemental shrines
- Deleted a lot of "residue brushes" for optimisation

UPDATE: It's up 100% now, please use the new map.

Reminds me of Oblivion where you can place paintbrushes in thin air and they won't fall down

I have yet to use that.

Also, TOK4 will have SFX so make sure you move those into the /sound folder... but its not ready yet. Console's pulling up some errors so I'm fixing those (for some reason the spawn areas disappeared?!?!)

TOK4 will be the last content update for a while, I'll only be fixing map problems in further updates. Meanwhile I'll work on another map called "Big Mac Mountain".

EDIT: Wasn't there an update today that fixed some things with Cow? Didn't really pay attention much so yeah

The Cow Mangler got nerfed again. this time the nerf is 5% slower reload time.



It's finally starting to look balanced for that 5 rocket clip.

The Axtinguisher
100% crits on burning enemies
minicrits non burning enemies
-25% damage done
Removes afterburn on hit






The idea behind this is fairly simple.
At 25% less damage, 100% minicrits will take you back to 65 damage on non burning enemies, so there's no difference than a regular melee swing. This is a buff since the axe currently does -50% to non burning enemies, which makes you very weak to pyros.
But the 25% damage nerf will make crits on burning enemies not do 195, but 148 or so damage instead. In addition, the axtinguisher, being a play on the word extinguisher, will extinguish the burning enemy hit by the attack. This makes killing support classes and weak enemies just as easy, since fire and a whack is a hefty blow. However, since there's not only a damage nerf but you have to reignite your target before you crit again, it doesn't allow you to two shot a fully overhealed heavy and spam extreme DPS unfairly.
This rebalance removes extra vulnerability against pyros, allowing you to keep your flare gun and retain DPS against them, but it also discourages just whoring your melee weapon; instead it's a solid triple digit finisher that you should use on a stubborn enemy or a pocket medic hiding behind an assault class for a quick kill. This also makes the axtinguisher a solid sidegrade instead of the grotesque upgrade it is now. In addition, this rebalance makes you consider all 3 of your weapons and emphasizes secondary fire or a split second more of burning rather than just puff and sting, which in my opinion is grossly OP and ruins the potential of the pyro.


Valve should totally fix the axtinguisher.

You should post the original stats for comparison for peeps who don't already have its stats memorized.

Actually I'll just do it for now
100% critical hit rate against burning players
-50% damage on non-burning players
No critical hits on non-burning players
